Liverpool: Kessie's exit strategy from Barca

Barcelona need to sell players to lower their wage bill and comply with 'Financial Fair Play' regulations so they can get some fresh legs this summer, among those the possible return of Leo Messi, who is out of contract with PSG this summer.

One of the players who would be happy to leave the squad this summer is Franck Kessie. The Ivorian midfielder did not see much game time this season and does not rule out the possibility of leaving to get more minutes on the pitch.

According to the 'Daily Mirror', Liverpool, who are in need of midfield reinforcement, would be open to offering €35 million to bring him over from the Catalan side and make good use of him.

Nothing has been confirmed officially but this sale definitely could tempt Barcelona, who are in desperate need of sales. Xavi Hernandez believes him to be an important player, but would not oppose his departure.

After the departures of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, Kessie could be the third player to leave the Catalans in an effort to make way for the return of Leo Messi. It is likely we'll see more about this deal in the coming weeks.
